Customer Reviews
Interesting but too much laughing
It is interesting hearing the history about all the foods/drinks. But the hosts laugh way too at things which are not even funny - it’s almost like an awkward reaction to one another.
Quite interesting
I find this show pretty interesting. I like range of topics and the history the provide.
I do find it really bizarre that they haven’t tasted lots of stuff they do shows on and say they will do after the show. I think direct experience should be pretty integral. Also they mispronounce / can’t say foreign words that would be really easy to find out the correct pronunciation of.
Food, Glorious Food
If you like food and are more interested than is healthy, you'll like this. I like episodes about sweeteners, and the stories behind our most manufactured food products. Yes, the hosts are women. This seems to be a topic if contention.
